We are The Wilmington - known locally as 'The Wilmo'

We’ve have had a bit of a face lift recently, not everything is new - if you’ve visited us in the past, you may remember us for having the best Sunday Roast in town. We can happily confirm that it’s back…but arguably, even better!

Head chef Jamie Cousins has taken the reigns, delivering an ever-evolving menu of globally-influenced dishes that celebrate the best of British ingredients as well as some very exciting specials. You can join us for brunch, lunch or dinner as well as that glorious Sunday Roast - come try it for yourself!

    The staff are super warm and friendly here each time we have visited. It’s a very posh looking pub internally and the food is delish. I had the lamb rump special today which was gorgeous. All the staff are honestly so lovely. They make you feel very welcome and happy! Most of all it’s good value in my books. You must visit if you are in the area great for business lunches too as they put you in a booth on request if available.

    This surpassed expectations. The service was the right balance of relaxed for a Sunday but helpful and friendly. The food was the best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time, as full of different flavours and great meat with decent roast potatoes. The cauliflower cheese an added side dish, just brilliant. Great wine list. All in all a really good place for Sunday lunch and a great atmosphere.

    First class Sunday lunch. Sunday roasts - both the beef and porchetta - were perfectly cooked and the blackboard special of rabbit and bacon pie w/cider was outstanding.

    Very nicely cooked hake and duck, good pudding. Nice cocktails. Lovely table, clean. Area reservedfor dining less noisy than rest. Nice waiters, kind and pleasant. Warm atmosphere. Courses are designed for those eating a full meal, unlikely to be filled by one course only. Good portions but go for a starter too.
